COMPUTER POWER INC. & SUBSIDIARY
The Company has a revolving credit agreement and a term loan with an
asset based lender. The revolving agreement provides for a maximum
borrowing of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, as defined. The total
amount of revolving credit and term loan borrowing is capped at
$2,000,000.
Except for the revolving credit agreement and the term loan, the
Company has obtained a deferral on its accumulated unpaid debt service
through year end 1998. The Company continues to accrue interest on the
deferred debt and its interest.
Note 4. At June 30, 1998 the Company had 1,899,079 stock subscription warrants
and 351,000 stock options outstanding. The stock subscription warrants
are exercisable at various prices, ranging from $0.25 to $0.40 per
share. The exercise period for the warrants ranges from June 1, 1996,
through June 1, 2006. The stock options were issued under an approved
stock option plan at market prices at the time of issue. At June 30,
1998, no warrants or options were determined to be common stock
equivalents because the average market price was lower than the
exercise price of the warrants and options. During the first quarter of
1998 the Company determined that 966,079 warrants had to be issued in
exchange for the deferral of debt service through year end 1998.
Note 5. The Company determined that the cost of the warrants that were issued
in exchange for the deferral of debt service referenced in note 4 was
not material. This was confirmed by an outside consultant.
Note 6. The Company owns a 20% interest in Retrofit, Ltd. ("Retrofit"), of
Trinidad, West Indies. Retrofit began manufacturing LED sub-assemblies
for the Company's Astralite business unit in 1996. The Company's entire
investment consisted of a license of its patented LED retrofit
technology. This investment is carried at no value. The majority
interest in Retrofit is owned by a related party.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS
1. GENERAL COMMENTS
The Company recorded a loss of $148,000 during the second quarter of 1998, or
($.06) per share compared to a loss of $258,000 or ($.10) per share during the
second quarter of 1997. Sales for the second quarter of 1998 were approximately
$485,000 lower than the second quarter of 1997, however, the Company was able to
more than offset this decline with cost reduction actions taken during the last
half of 1997 and during the first half of 1998.
For the six month period ended June 30, 1998 the Company recorded a loss of
$295,000, or ($.11) per share compared to a loss of $413,000 or ($.16) per share
for the six months ending June 30, 1997. Sales for the six months ended June 30,
1998 were approximately $1,012,000 lower than the six months ended June 30,
1997, however the Company has shown less of a loss because of cost reduction
actions taken in the second half of 1997 and the first half of 1998.
2. REVENUES
For the three months ended June 30, 1998 net sales were $2,032,000 or 19% below
the second quarter of 1997. Net Sales for the Astralite division were down 38%
compared to the same period last year mainly due to a UL code change that
occurred in August of 1997 and caused the Company to discontinue the manufacture
of its LED Retrofit Kit. Although the Company introduced a new universal UL
approved product during the first quarter of 1998, product sales continue below
last year. The Power Protection Division sales were below last year's sales
mainly due to the planned phase out of the non-profitable custom UPS business.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998 net sales were $4,078,000 or 20% below
the first six months ended June 30, 1997. Net Sales for the Astralite division
were down 40% compared the same period last year mainly due to a UL code change
that occurred in August of 1997 and caused the Company to discontinue the
manufacture of its LED Retrofit Kit. Although the Company introduced a new
universal UL approved product during the first quarter of 1998, product sales
continue below last year. The Power Protection Division sales were below last
year's sales mainly due to the planned phase out of the non-profitable custom
UPS business.
3. COST OF SALES
Cost of sales for the second quarter 1998 of $1,575,000 was approximately 78% of
net sales compared to 82% for the same period last year. The Company has
continued to manage its variable costs, primarily material and direct labor, at
improved levels with respect to sales
Cost of sales for the six months ended June 1998 of $3,128,000 was approximately
77% of net sales compared to 80% for the same period last year. The Company has
continued to manage its variable costs, primarily material at improved levels
with respect to sales. Research and development activities as a percentage of
sales have increased in the first half of 1998 as compared to the same period in
1997.
4. OPERATING AND OTHER EXPENSES
Selling expenses were about $240,000 (12% of sales) for the second quarter of
1998 versus approximately $317,000 (13% of sales) for the same period in 1997.
With the anticipated decrease in sales the Company reduced its costs in 1998 as
compared to the same period in 1997.
Selling expenses were about $499,000 (12% of sales) for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 compared to approximately $662,000 (13% of sales) for the six
months ended June 30, 1997.
General and administrative expenses were approximately $260,000 in the second
quarter 1998 compared to $307,000 in the same quarter in 1997. The main areas of
reduction were: 1) personnel, 2) inspection fees, and 3) supplies as compared to
the second quarter last year.

<PAGE>
COMPUTER POWER INC. & SUBSIDIARY
General and administrative expenses were about $537,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 compared to approximately $565,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1997. The main areas of reduction were: 1) personnel, 2) inspection fees,
and 3) supplies as compared to the first six months of 1997.
Interest expense for the second quarter of 1998 was $105,000 compared to $92,000
for the same quarter in 1997. The increase primarily resulted from a higher
level of debt.
Interest expense for the first six months of 1998 was $208,000 compared to
$178,000 for the same six months in 1997. The increase primarily resulted from a
higher level of debt.
5. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 1998, the Company's investment in Total Assets was approximately
$2,785,000 or $79,000 more than the $2,706,000 reported at December 31, 1997.
Inventory increased by about $65,000 as Astralite Retrofit Kit units were added
to stock in support of the new UL product introduction.
At June 30, 1998, the Company's Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity increased
by $79,000 and was essentially comprised of: (1) a loss for the six months of
295,000, (2) an increase in debt of $70,000 and, (3) an increase in accounts
payable, accrued liabilities and accrued interest of $304,000. The Company has
two raw material suppliers, one of which is a related party, that provide
extended terms. As of June 30, 1998 these vendors were owed a total of
approximately $334,000 of which approximately $275,000 was outstanding as a
result of those terms.
The Company is currently negotiating with the landlord, a related party, for a
revision of the building lease terms including a reduction in rent as a result
of reducing the space that it currently occupies at the High Bridge location.
Presently, the Company is making payments based upon a rent reduction proposal
that outlines certain terms and conditions that must be satisfied in order to
amend the present lease agreement. However, the Company does not have a waiver
of default in writing with respect to past due contractual amounts outstanding
which total about $40,000 as of June 30, 1998. Should the landlord decide to
terminate discussions and institute actions under default provisions and the
Company were unable to satisfy the obligations then due, it would result in a
default of the Company's asset based lending agreements.
The Company anticipates that borrowing available to it through its revolving
credit agreement and term loan facilities along with the negotiated deferral of
debt service for the year should be sufficient to cover operating cash
requirements during 1998 (see Note 5 to the Financial Statements). In addition,
the Company has obtained a commitment from a major stockholder to supplement
working capital should the need arise in 1998.
There were 2,578,300 weighted average common shares outstanding in each period.
For the three months ending June 30, 1998, and 1997 the effects of options and
warrants were not considered when calculating fully diluted earnings per share,
since the results would have been anti-dilutive.
The Company continues to review and evaluate the Year 2000 issue as it relates
to its internal computer and electronic systems and third party computers and
electronic systems as well as those of its vendors. The Company expects to incur
internal staff costs as well as other expenses related to these issues. In
addition, the appropriate course of action may include replacement or an upgrade
to certain systems or equipment that would be capitalized and depreciated
accordingly. The cost of compliance and its effect on future results of
operations is not anticipated to be material in any given year.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. The Statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS
133 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Currently,
the Company expects the impact of SFAS 133 will be immaterial.
